This is a really sad poem

My name is Lilly

I am but three,

My eyes are swollen

I cannot see,

I must be stupid

I must be bad,

What else could have made

My daddy so mad?

I wish I were better

I wish I weren't ugly,

Then maybe my mommy

Would still want to hug me.

I can't speak at all

I can't do a wrong

Or else I'm locked up

All the day long.

When I awake I'm all alone

The house is dark

My folks aren't home

When my mommy does come

I'll try and be nice,

So maybe I'll get just

One whipping tonight.

Don't make a sound!

I just heard a car

My daddy is back

From Charlie's Bar.

I hear him curse

My name he calls

I press myself

Against the wall

I try and hide

From his evil eyes

I'm so afraid now

I'm starting to cry

He finds me weeping

He shouts ugly words,

He says its my fault

That he suffers at work.

He slaps me and hits me

And yells at me more,

I finally get free

And I run for the door.

He's already locked it

And I start to bawl,

He takes me and throws me

Against the hard wall.

I fall to the floor

With my bones nearly broken,

And my daddy continues

With more bad words spoken.

'I'm sorry!', I scream

But its now much too late

His face has been twisted

Into unimaginable hate

The hurt and the pain

Again and again

Oh please God, have mercy!

Oh please let it end!

And he finally stops

And heads for the door,

While I lay there motionless

Sprawled on the floor

My name is Lilly

And I am but three,

Tonight my daddy

Murdered me.

Yeah I've gotten that poem many times by chain e-mails. The little girl's name seems to change a lot, though. I think it is so sad, and it makes you want to end child abuse.

I've hear this a lot. It's horrible too, and it almost makes me cry every time.

That's horrible.Child abuse should end! i hate it.

Who would murder their own kid? That's wack.

This is very sad! It made me cry...I LOVE IT

Even though it's scary and horrible.... I kind of like to read it- alot.
